Smart Main Panel replaces numerous boxes and conduit lines, eliminating mess and resulting in a sleek, elegant look on your wall
Smart Main Panel simplifies the electrical work of solar + battery installation, eliminating errors and incompatibility issues
The Smart Main Panel routes your home energy intelligently, maximizing the value you get from solar production
Compare the aesthetic difference between a traditional solar + home battery system installation (above left) with a Smart Main Panel installation – Smart Main Panel packs all necessary breakers, disconnects, meters, and other electrical components into one package, eliminating the need for clunky boxes and conduit runs. The Smart Main Panel simply connects to the solar array and the home battery modules.
Traditional solar and home battery installation is a complex process – it often requires a main panel upgrade, and still involves numerous subpanels, disconnects, and conduit runs. The Smart Main Panel takes care of all these issues, simplifying the installation process and reducing the cost and labor required. It’s easier for contractors, and eliminates the potential for mistakes, incompatibility issues, and subpar performance.
The Smart Main Panel optimizes your solar + home battery system by ensuring you maximize the amount of power your system generates by using it on premises rather than exporting it to the grid (typically at a reduced rate)
• System designed to offset peak
daily usage
• Limits amount of energy
needed from high-priced utility
while minimizing investment
• System designed to offset peak
daily usage and charge battery
system for off hours
• Allows you to buy even less
from the utility
• Optimizes whole-home energy flow
• Produce and use your own energy
and export to utility only when
advantageous
The Smart Main Panel maximizes the value of solar and home battery installation, even under California’s new, utility-friendly policy. See the charts below for details on how Smart Main Panel’s intelligent energy flow management ensures peak ROI.
1. When exposed to the sun, your panels generate power
2. This energy is passed from the panels through your main panel into your home
3. Any excess power is exported back to the grid – under NEM3, you’re only credited a fraction of the retail cost per kWh exported
4. When your panels aren’t producing, you have to buy power from the grid at full retail rate
1. When exposed to the sun, your panels generate power
2. This energy is passed from the panels through your main panel into your home
3. Excess power charges the home battery, which can be used later when your panels aren’t producing
4. When your battery is fully charged, excess power still flows back to the grid, where it’s credited at a fraction of the retail rate
5. When your panels aren’t producing and your battery is depleted, you still have to buy power from the grid at full retail rate
1. When exposed to the sun, your panels generate power
2. This energy is passed from the panels through your Smart Main Panel
3. Your Smart Main Panel optimizes the flow of energy, maximizing your battery storage and minimizing the amount of energy exported to the grid
4. When rates are favorable, Smart Main Panel exports to the grid, ensuring adequate battery capacity remains to power your home through the night
5. When your panels aren’t producing and your battery is depleted, you still have to buy power from the grid at full retail rate – but Smart Main Panel minimizes the amount you have to buy
